Accidentally Married to the Big Shot

Chapter 223: Chapter 223 Special Protection Chapter 223: Chapter 223 Special Protection Gu Wei simply said, “Seeing as how shallow your relationship with your parents is, I always suspect they might not be your biological parents.”

Su Meixi just laughed, “I suspected that when I was a kid too, but later I resigned myself to fate. If they didn’t give birth to me, then who did? It couldn’t possibly be like the novels, where there’s some mix-up or someone deliberately switched babies, right?”

Gu Wei smiled and said nothing more.

Nor did Su Meixi give it much more thought.

She didn’t expect any parental love now, just to lead her own life well.

…

Feng City.

Zhou Yuan was still staying at her parents’ house.

Gu Cheng had returned to work at the company during the day, but he would come back after work.

During the day, she was pampered by her mother, and at night, both her husband and father were home, showering her with care and warmth. Her mother-in-law would occasionally send over some top-quality bird’s nest and tonics. At home, there was no worry about food or drink. Compared to Su Meixi, she was living in heaven.

Every time she thought of Su Meixi, she sighed.

Recalling that she hadn’t called Su Meixi for several days, that day she decided to make a video call to her.

The call was cut and switched to voice reception.

She must be unable to video chat.

“Sister Su, how have you been these days?” Zhou Yuan asked excitedly.

Su Meixi was still staying in the hospital, she laughed and said, “Good.”

“Your voice sounds weak, what’s going on? Are you sick?”

“No, Gu Wei is right next to me,” Su Meixi said.

Zhou Yuan instantly adopted a knowing tone, “Oh, you and Gu Wei are in bed together, aren’t you? No wonder your voice is so soft and feeble. I won’t disturb you two, carry on, carry on.”

The call ended, and Su Meixi smiled helplessly.

Indeed, such an innocent and happy young girl.

…

The nurse who had been held hostage came to check on Su Meixi every day.

This nurse, named Xiao Fen, looked to be about 20 years old and seemed timid whenever she saw people, especially when Gu Wei was also there.

With each visit, she brought Su Meixi a small bouquet of flowers, and upon noticing there were no vases in the sickroom, she even bought one the next day.

Seeing Xiao Fen’s guilty look with each visit, Su Meixi couldn’t help but remind her, “Xiao Fen, you really don’t have to come to see me every day. In that situation, I would have saved anyone.”

Xiao Fen didn’t listen and came again the next day. Su Meixi let her be and took it as having gained another younger sister.

One day, another nurse came to bring Su Meixi patient’s clothes and change the bed sheets; she encountered Xiao Fen who was about to leave.

After Xiao Fen had gone, as the nurse changed the bed sheets, she said, “Dr. Su, I heard that the Xiao Fen you saved has some serious connections.”

“Oh? What kind of connections?” Su Meixi asked, sitting nearby.

“I’m not sure exactly what, but I’ve heard that she’s very powerful, and her family holds high office.”

Su Meixi laughed.

Xiao Fen’s family holding high office had what to do with Su Meixi?

Besides, during her long hospital stay, it had only been Xiao Fen who visited her; Xiao Fen’s family hadn’t come even once.

Su Meixi’s injuries healed quickly, and by the tenth day, she was able to be discharged.

On the day of discharge, Xiao Ding suddenly called Gu Wei, “Boss, we’ve gotten some leads from those people who lent high-interest loans to Chen Shicheng.”

“What kind of leads?” Gu Wei glanced at Su Meixi.

“Those guys are crafty. On the surface, they lend high-interest loans, but in reality, they have ties with criminals at the border. Chen Zhengcheng seemed unrelated, but it was they who directed him to come here for Sister Su’s treatment and pressured him during his hospital stay, driving him to desperation.”

Xiao Ding concluded, “So, we suspect there are still Kun Bu’s people in Yun City. Boss, you and Sister Su need to be careful.”

“I understand!” Gu Wei said.

“What’s wrong?” Su Meixi had also sensed the unusual tone in Gu Wei’s voice. For a split second, his eyes had a fierce look.

Gu Wei said gravely, “Military intelligence has discovered that people from Kun Bu might still be in Yun City. This time, we must take the initiative to strike!”

Su Meixi’s heart tightened, “What do you plan to do?”

“Find the location of Kun Bu and annihilate them all at once!”

In that moment, Su Meixi saw his determination.

…

After being discharged, Gu Wei had arranged for special protection for Su Meixi; she was allowed to stay in the military’s family quarters, which were located in the mountains, right next to the training field, separated only by a wall. One could even hear the sounds of training from inside the house.

There were very few military dependents here; it was just as solemn and imposing as it had been on the border. It seemed almost indecorous to call out “husband” here; one had to call by name.

Su Meixi felt stuffy in this place, but Gu Wei said it was the safest place, where no one would dare come without risking their life.

She had also taken leave from the hospital; she had just been discharged and could barely manage her daily needs. It was impossible for her to work, and she would need at least a month of rest before returning.

By now, she held a kind of unease about the hospital. It didn’t matter if she didn’t go back to that job.

In recent days, Gu Wei seemed very busy; it was Xiao Ding who brought her meals.

The army’s food was good, with both meat and vegetables, and even soup—no fear of going hungry.

“Xiao Ding, where is Gu Wei?” Su Meixi asked.

Xiao Ding glanced at Su Meixi, then said, “The boss… he’s gone on a mission.”

“Is there news from the Kun Bu side?”

“Sister-in-law, you already know; why ask me?” said Xiao Ding, scratching his head.

“Where is Kun Bu?” Su Meixi asked again.

Xiao Ding couldn’t help but smile, “Sister-in-law, you know I’m a duty soldier. Many missions involve secrets that I’m not privy to.”

Su Meixi didn’t press further.

Back when she was in Feng City, she often heard about Gu Wei going on missions; maybe because they were far away and she hadn’t experienced the kidnapping in the UK, she just assumed he was on business trips.

But now, knowing that he was involved in such dangerous work, she couldn’t help feeling anxious.

She used to think the country was very safe and peaceful. It was only now that she realized those peaceful days existed because brave people were protecting them.

“Sister-in-law, you shouldn’t stay cooped up here all the time. The boss instructed that if you want to go out for a walk, that’s fine too. Walking more is beneficial for your recovery.”

“Alright,” Su Meixi said.

She was a doctor and knew her condition.

When the afternoon sun was intense, she would go downstairs for a walk.

…

“Oh, Sister Su, so you were here!”

One day, as Su Meixi was taking a walk outside the family quarters, she ran into Bao Min again.

Bao Min was carrying a food box, registering at the guard post.

Bao Min gave Su Meixi an up-and-down look, and seeing her alone, couldn’t help asking, “You don’t live inside, do you?”

“Yes, what about it?” Su Meixi asked.

“Nothing,” Bao Min said, with envy clear in her eyes.

She was there to deliver medicinal soup to Commander Bao and could only register outside the guard post, unable to go in, but Su Meixi could live inside.

Bao Min walked up to Su Meixi, putting on a concerned facade, “How’s your injury?”

“Much better,” Su Meixi said.

“That’s good.” Bao Min pointed ahead, “The sun’s nice up front, how about I join you and we sit there for a bit?”

“No need, I came out for a walk, not to sit around,” Su Meixi declined, not wanting to sit with her.

Bao Min’s eyes rolled slyly, “Then I’ll accompany you on your walk. We used to be neighbors after all, friends, right?”

Su Meixi felt that Bao Min had an ulterior motive.
